Chapter 61 Get Lisa to Design the Dress

Colton typically spoiled his sister. Whatever she wanted, he would provide it, and besides, this request

wasn’t an outrageous one. However, Joanna was currently out of the country.

“She’s overseas right now. It’ll be at least a week before she gets back. If it’s meant to be worn at your

graduation, then the dress probably won’t be finished in time,” Colton replied honestly.

Wendy immediately pulled a long face, her pretty features distorting. She went over and tugged on

Colton’s arm as she pretended to be angry. “What should I do, then? I came back specifically to ask

Miss Joanna to design my dress.”

Colton regarded the family princess and laughed, somewhat exasperated. After a moment of thought,

he spoke. “Why don’t you just pick a dress for now? I’ll get Joanna to make you a dress for your 18th

birthday then, all right?”

Wendy’s birthday was in the middle of March, which was a month later. That would be enough time for

Joanna to come back and get that dress ready.

“No, that won’t do!” Wendy shook her head, displeased. Girls loved looking pretty, especially during

events such as their graduation ceremony. How could Wendy settle for less?

Seeing her daughter’s disgruntled look, Anna suddenly remembered something. She lifted her head to

look at Colton. “I recall that Gardner Corporation has been working with Lisa from F&M Apparel

recently, no? Why don’t you get Lisa to help instead, Colton?”

At the mention of Lisa, Wendy’s beautiful eyes gleamed. Her initially disgruntled expression turned

bright, and she tugged on Colton’s arm again. “Really? Is Lisa working for our company?” As she

spoke, she unwittingly pitched her voice higher. It was Lisa, after all, the Chief Designer of F&M

Apparel. She was a designer that one wouldn’t necessarily be able to hire just because one had the

money to throw at her. If she could wear one of Lisa’s designs, she would be able to turn countless

heads!

“Lisa’s working at the company, but she’s only there because of a collaboration with Gardner

Corporation. Your request is considered a private matter…” Colton said slowly as he looked at Anna.

Without waiting for Anna to speak, Wendy pulled on Colton’s arm again. “Colton, just help me ask her,

okay? If she can’t fulfill the request, I won’t make you force the question again. How about that?”

Colton looked at those hopeful eyes. He had spoiled this girl since she was young. Thus, he really

couldn’t quite refuse her.

“I can promise to ask her, but I cannot guarantee that Lisa will help you,” Colton replied helplessly.

Nicole had asked him for help regarding Joseph. He initially thought of leaving this matter aside for a

potential favor in the future, but he hadn’t expected that he would use that favor so soon because of

Wendy.

The next morning, Queenie brought Lydia to the Gardner Residence after Colton had left the house.

Anna was currently talking with Wendy about some idle domestic chatter when she heard Queenie’s

voice in the distance. She frowned slightly, displeasure creeping onto her face. In truth, she did not like

Queenie at all, and she couldn’t understand why Colton would keep this woman by his side. Women

with Queenie’s background were a dime a dozen in Goldwick.

“Mrs. Gardner,” Queenie greeted as she pulled her mother forward with her. When she caught sight of

Wendy, who had recently returned home, she quickly put on a smile. “Oh, you’re back, Wendy. Why

didn’t you say so earlier? I could have come to see you.”

Wendy was indifferent toward Queenie. Queenie was the woman that her brother picked as his fiancée,

her potential future sister-in-law, after all, so she simply nodded politely. “I only came back recently, so I

haven’t told anyone.”

“Anna, we’re here today to invite you to Queenie’s father’s birthday celebration. If you have the time,

we’d like you to come,” Lydia demurely stated their reason for being here.

Anna had always detested the Andersons. After all, there was a wide gap between the Gardners and

the Andersons. Lydia’s reason for inviting her today was because she wanted the entire industry to

laugh at Nicole!

“Don’t address me as if we’re on close terms. We’re not friends,” Anna stated coldly. She looked at

Queenie through the corners of her eyes, her manicured brows knitting together. I have no idea what

Colton saw in her. She’s neither capable, nor does she have an air of grace around her. Women like

her are aplenty on the streets.
